Along for the Ride Sponsorship Program

I've gone back and forth and back again when deciding to finally offer paid advertising spots on my blog. It's not a decision I came to lightly and it's not a program that I will take lightly either.

I've been along for the ride for a little over 2 years and I've primarily kept my sponsorship opportunities to swapping ads and I have never asked for money in return for my support. But as my husband and I are in a season of transition (welcoming a baby in October and making plans for me to stay at home), I am searching out ways to use this blog to bless our family.

I understand that so many of you are  in this position as well and I want you to know that, in partnering with me, I will take your financial support seriously and work to promote your talents the best way I can. 

I feel called to support other women, promote beautiful blogs and handmade shops, provide encouragement, and introduce my readers to new things. 

I would love to partner with you and I promise to work my tail off in promoting your beautiful blogs and shops. Just like mine, so much of your heart and soul is poured into them. I will treat them with the care that you do.
Interested in coming along for the ride with me in a whole new way?
